A film made up of four episodes: a jar repairer gets trapped in a vat because of his hunch; a young unmarried mother is forced to beg to buy herself a fan; Rosario Chiarchiaro appears before a law court for casting spells; the discomfort of an overtight jacket gives a wedding witness the strength to persuade the bridegroom's reluctant parents to bless his union.
A young, by-the-book judge is appointed to a Sicilian village controlled by corrupt leaders and the mafia.
A prison warden keeps a diary in which he writes about the convicts he meets and their lives.
